Confidence In Your Workforce With Qualification Checks
Employers will always want their staff to be highly educated, that is something we all understand.
But these days can you be sure that the qualifications your candidate claims to have are genuine without carrying out an employee background check? As the economic climate has worsened, people are more likely to enhance their CVs in a bid to persuade someone to employ them.
Some might say that it's understandable that people do this. They only want a chance to show their skills once they have secured the job, so what's wrong with a little bit of, shall we say embellishment of their qualifications? Clearly this is not acceptable to the employer, but how can you be sure that the degree or other certificate is genuine? This is where PeopleChecking can help with employee background checks.
Their education verification provides written confirmation of an academic degree or secondary education qualification. They contact the academic establishment to confirm the period of attendance, the type of qualification gained, subjects studied and grades achieved. The same applied to a candidate claiming to have membership of a professional body. A professional members check provides confirmation of professional and trade memberships.
Reports for the education verification and professional membership check are provided via email in five to ten working days. HR professionals and recruiters have been warned to be on their guard as research has shown that 24 per cent of jobseekers are prepared to lie in interviews and 15 per cent would exaggerate their skills and qualifications. So don't get caught out, and make sure you use PeopleChecking for your qualification checks!
